ESIL Travel Grants

The European Society of International Law offers travel grants to encourage and facilitate attendance at its Annual Conferences, Research Fora, and other events. Travel grants are awarded to speakers or chairs at ESIL events. Priority is given to early-career scholars and scholars from emerging/developing countries. ESIL travel grants are a contribution to the expenses of attending the ESIL event, and can cover the cost of travel (flights, trains, etc.) and/or accommodation.

DEADLINES for submission of applications:

ESIL Annual Conference, Athens: deadline = Wednesday 5 June 2019

Eligibility

You cannot apply for a travel grant if you receive financial support from your institution or any other organization to attend this event.
Applicants must be current ESIL members at the time of applying for a grant.
